Summer is here, and that means spending more time outdoors soaking up the sun. While it's great to enjoy the warm weather, it's important to remember to protect your skin. Sunscreen is a crucial component of any summer skincare routine, as it helps protect your skin from harmful UV rays that can cause sunburn, premature aging, and even skin cancer.

While protecting your skin from damage, sunscreen can also help maintain a more youthful appearance. UV rays are a major contributor to wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots, so wearing sunscreen can help keep your skin looking smooth and radiant.

Here are some of our favorite summer sunscreen recommendations:
